[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6975248, member: 413"] A small troop of 8 kuo-toa march along the path in a ridiculous mockery of military order, lead by a much larger fishman with bulging muscles and an even more bulging belly. They wear ragged clothing that appears to be pieced together to look like uniforms of some sort. The group pulls a rope attached to a barge that follows along the shore beside them. On the barge are four more kuo-toa and another large one with a konk shell attached to him by a thin strap. These ones are also in a uniform but these are mocking those of sailors. The large kuo-toa look almost as if they are a different species. Shuushar is definitely more like the more numerous smaller ones. All the smaller ones are equipped with spears and nets. The two larger ones have no weapons and are effectively naked beyond the shells and leather straps they wear for jewelry. They all wear "medallions" made of an assortment of shells attached to some sort of small dead creatures similar to the giant tentacled beast you fought a few days ago. Their tentacles are obscenely spread across each kuo-toa's chest. There are two pathetic humanoid creatures tied up on the barge, their hands bound behind their backs, their feet tied and sacks bound over their heads. It is difficult to tell what kind of creatures they might be. Possibly goblins. As the group approaches and finally notices Shuushar standing at the crossroad, the bulbous one leading the land group brings everyone to a halt and begins to speak in what you can only assume to be the language of the kuo-toa. [COLOR="#008000"] Land Leader: [B]"Shuushar! .... Sloobludop ..."[/B][/COLOR] He speaks in an accusatory tone, motions toward the village and to your group.
